The beginning of this song (especially the bass line) actually reminds me of a song of my ex band..and i'm pretty shure it's not a rip-off since we were a completly different kind of stuff ("melodic" d-beat/passionate crust punk) and except of me (i used to listen to them a lot in those days) no one of the band were into Agalloch at the time..and i was the vocalist,not bassist or guitarrist,so....btw,this song is really so good! Agalloch never fail..
